it depends on what you're watching on. If you're using a tablet people are saying you need an account

Is Facebook as a streaming service really that terrible for people? Despite the late start & apparently mic issues, I woke up today to catch the end of VP/VGT on the ESL website and it ran just fine for me. My only complaint would be that the stream is automuted by default for whatever reason. Seems like a lot of people are having issues with mobile too? - but to argue against that, Twitch's mobile app (on Android at least) is also pretty bad, stuttering/slow loading/ads for me in recent updates.

In terms of accessibility it's definitely on the bad side. I wouldn't have known where to see the official EN stream if not for the survival guide posted on reddit. Wonder if the in-game client viewing numbers had a significant boost compared to other tourneys.

The whole thing regarding ESL complaining about Bulldog or w/e is just bullocks; Valve specifically indicated anyone was free to broadcast within reason. Wonder how the ESL sponsors feel right now.

Anyway, hoping for PENTA to beat EG cause it'd be funny, Mineski to stay alive, and Liquid/Na'Vi to be decent games

Staying outside of the US, the facebook stream actually works better for me than twitch usually does (I can only get 480p to work well for me, 720p and above starts to lag), no matter how good my internet is. Its even better for me since I don't need a facebook account to watch it when I use the esl site.

I guess most others have issues using the mobile one, or so i've heard

My Facebook stream also worked totally fine. I had a dormant Facebook account, just need to log in and voila!
I think all the technical issue is fabricated. those guys mostly have problem because its on Facebook.

Facebook is less stable because it's not a streamlined streaming platform. It's not as easy to tab out of the video to read forums, it lags everytime I tab out though the sound remains. Interface is silly and not as easy to navigate.

In short, it's not horrible, but it is far from what twitch or even youtube could be. I've watched some older tournaments on FB before and while tolerable it always makes me want for a better platform.
